Hey Guys, Bill here with another “Insert army/unit here” is
terrible. Today’s entry is in response to a friend of mine who responded to my
thread regarding the blog. He wanted a 1k sons list with the only stipulation
being the scoring units are 1k sons. Challenge accepted and I think I am
actually going to give this list a shot. I admittedly cheated a little and
added a unit of pink horrors so I could take daemon allies by I made up for it
by not putting any other marks in the list other than tzeentch! As with all of
these lists guys; they are quickly thrown together brain childs of mine with
zero testing or tweaking.
Without further delay; the list:

I like this list because it literally has all the tools, I
can kill vehicles, has dedicated melee, tons of AP3, is super durable, very
sneak and deceptive (my favorite) and my new favorite is fairly MSU without
being spammy. Honestly I would probably drop the 3rd 5 man unit and
in obliterators but he wants 1ksons so he gets em!
Here is the breakdown
HQ: Sorcerer in Terminator Armour (1#, 155 pts)- To
be honest; If I had my way I would be taking Abbadon here, he absolutely
belongs toting around with the possessed in a Land Raider but my buddy wanted
1ksons and 1ksons he shall get. This guys makes them troops, he also is a
decent support character to tank some shots for the big unit of 1k sons or join
the possessed if you get something fun like Iron Arm.
Elite: Possessed (8#, 248 pts)-It’s a wonky list, so I wanted to do fully wonky. Is this unit
overcosted? Hell yes! Is the rest of the army as well? Hell yes, so who cares!
This unit is Str 5 T5 and has a decent amount of attacks. More importantly they
are also a daemon with +1 invuln save which you will see why is important in a
moment. I know…the suspense!!
Heavy Support: Chaos Land Raider (1#, 245 pts)- The Land Raider has a lot of utility in
this list. Most of the time I see it carrying the possessed but if you are
fighting a melee army I can see it protecting your 10 man 1ksons and using the
possessed as a counter charge unit. Oh yeah, it’s also AV 14 with las cannons
on the side.
Troops: Thousand Sons (10#, 265 pts)
Troops: Thousand Sons (6#, 185 pts)
Troops: Thousand Sons (6#, 185 pts)
Troops: Thousand Sons (5#, 150 pts)- The sad fact is, the 1ksons are over costed for something as easy to
kill as a standard marine. They have a few tricks but they are still so over
costed that instead of trying to make them effective you are going to be
focused on protecting them. My suggestion is to focus 100% on keeping them safe
and rolling pyromancy on your Champ and sneak him out for some pop shots. With
the new marine book though you may some really nice fodder to use those AP3
bolters on.
I also like the
Rhinos in this list because you can move and turbo boost to get your unit in a
defensive position. Also with the new trend of deathstar shooting units (36 str
5-7 missiles I’m looking at you!) it is fun to force an opponent to waste that
many shots on a pesky rhino. They will kill it, rather easily but it means that
isn’t shooting at the 5 man hoofing it across the field that turn.
HQ: Lord of Change (1#, 305 pts)-This guy is the reason I had to cheat. He is a level 3 flying MC and
has access to Bio, Divination, Telepathy which means he can basically do
anything. More importantly; remember those daemonic possessed marines with a 4+
invuln we spoke about earlier? Well they are friendly daemon so cast grimoire
on them and laugh with your 2+ invulnerable.
Troops: Pink Horrors of Tzeentch (12#, 108 pts)- They are level 2 being 12 strong and are
another scoring unit that can have grimoire cast on them. They also allow me to
bring the Lord of Charge and they are Tzeentch so blah!
Hope you guys enjoyed the article, again as are all these “terrible”
army blog entries these are meant to be fun, semi-competitive lists. You probably
are not going to win a GT with these but you will surprise your friends, and
maybe even stomp at a local RTT and it brings new life to stuff that isn’t
thought of too much. I promised you would never see a netlist on this blog
unless people are playing my GT lists and I am sticking to my guns!
